(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lauren Castillo. After his cat Pepper dies, the narrator continues to grieve until he comes to understand that Pepper will be "'always in my heart.' / Now I know for sure we'll never be apart." Textured mixed-media illustrations feature the boy, his mother, and their cat in some moving scenes. While the rhymes are awkward in places, the story offers a comforting message.
